During the internship, the Girls' Voices Now Marketing Intern will create a robust library of photo and video assets that document the GVN experience. Pre-GVN Summer Filmmaking Intensive (June 15–July 5, 2026): the GVN Marketing Intern will collaborate with the Program Manager, Program Assistant, Social Media Manager, and GVN Graphic Design Intern on pre-production tasks, including organizing shot lists, structuring media folders in Google Drive, and developing the voice and tone of Girls’ Voices Now social media posts. During GVN Summer Filmmaking Intensive (July 6–31): they will document program activities through photos and video, capturing behind-the-scenes moments. Post-GVN Summer Filmmaking Intensive (Aug 1–7): the intern will organize all visual assets and provide accessible links for staff use and archiving.
The intern will also:
- participate in some team meetings and communicate with other staff members, as needed; and
- participate in weekly or bi-weekly check-ins with their supervisor, as well as a mid-internship and end-of internship review to discuss performance, strengths, areas for growth, and professional development.
The intern may participate in a pre-program Trauma Informed Care Training to gain skills related to emotional intelligence and empathy.

- Communication: You are willing to practice speaking and writing clearly as you represent our team.
Bonus Skills (not required):

- If you can speak, write, or translate into Spanish, that is a wonderful plus but not a requirement.
Women’s Voices Now (WVN) uses film to drive social change that advances girls’ and women’s rights globally. We promote, produce, and share social-change films focusing on women’s and girls’ rights issues, providing active support to filmmakers who give voice to unheard women and girls, and activating civil society by moving audiences from empathy to action. We envision a global culture shift, powered by impact film, in which communities and institutions believe in the value of gender equality, and adapt their behaviors and actions to support systematic advancement of girls’ and women’s rights. We amplify underrepresented voices and reshape dominant narratives to foster inclusivity in front of the camera as well as behind it.
